This makes it totally perfect for embedded applications like Set-top-boxes or Routers or why not game consoles right? /Jaix ----Ursprungligt meddelande----- From: Emanuele Aliberti ea(a)iol.it Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2005 06:37:19 +0200 To: ReactOS Development List ros-dev(a)reactos.com Subject: Re: [ros-dev] New Webserver System > Richard Campbell wrote: > > > Well, i don't know about other devs around here, but i don't WANT > > ReactOS to become another XP. > > > > Windows XP typically consumes over a GB of space. > > > > Remember NT4?

Ros VGA driver not working - To be confirmed

by Gge

Hello, Ros VGA driver does not work anymore in my real hardware configuration. I'd like to know if the problem is confirmed by somebody else. To reproduce it , disable the VBE drives in Hiveinst.inf file , make registry and reboot. The green Reactos logo displayed at boot is not displayed correctly ( color is red/yellow etc , the logo is not clearly displayed ) Here are the debug messages (DBG=1) --------------------------- (ntoskrnl\ldr\loader.c:252) Could not open module file: \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\mpu401.sys (drivers\input\i8042prt\registry.c:218) Can't read registry: c0000034 (drivers\input\i8042prt\registry.c:224) Manually set defaults (ntoskrnl\ldr\loader.c:252) Could not open module file: \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\xboxvmp.sys (ntoskrnl\ob\wait.c:246) Returning: 0 (subsys\win32k\ntuser\desktop.c:769) Trying to open desktop (\Windows\WindowStations\WinSta0\Default) (subsys\win32k\ntuser\desktop.c:580) IntShellHookNotify: No desktop!

Baby Steps

by Rick Langschultz

This is a suggestion: Can ReactOS implement an OpenLDAP backend to the ReactOS website. There are many benefits to implementing OpenLDAP into the reactos.com website. First, reactos.com can use this software to authenticate users in certain modules of the website such as future forums, wikis (via publishing), and possible later implementation into a mass- mailing system like squirrelmail or mailman, suggestions, hint hint, or perhaps in the future an instant messenger engine. Also OpenLDAP would be able to provide back-end website developers to verify status of community members. How is that for a baby step to implementing someone's ideas...

Shouldn't errors be explained a bit better?

by Reuben Perelman

I was looking through the installer, and noticed that it generated an error for partitions created by linux fdisk. Shouldn't the user be informed about this, so they know why. This type of information will help a user solve the problem that caused the error. Below is the code for the error I'm talking about. if (WarnLinuxPartitions == TRUE && CheckForLinuxFdiskPartitions (PartitionList) == TRUE) { PopupError ("Setup found that at least one harddisk contains an incompatible\n" "partition table that can not be handled properly!\n" "\n" "Creating or deleting partitions can destroy the partiton table.\n" "\n" " \x07 Press F3 to quit Setup." " \x07 Press ENTER to continue.", "F3= Quit ENTER = Continue"); while (TRUE) { ConInKey (Ir); if ((Ir->Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar == 0x00) && (Ir->Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode == VK_F3)) /* F3 */ { return QUIT_PAGE; } else if (Ir->Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode == VK_RETURN) /* ENTER */ { WarnLinuxPartitions = FALSE; return SELECT_PARTITION_PAGE; } } }

Nevermind

by Rick Langschultz

Since I heard of reactos, i have always considered it one day replacing my Windows 2000 and XP boxes. Because ReactOS was going to be an open-source alternative to the Windows NT API I felt that it had and has serious potential to hinder or greatly replace Microsoft Windows. I have suggested several ideas both through IRC (freenode) and email messages how the computing world does things. I understand that ReactOS is still in pre-production, and planning for the next release is greatly important to the community development and testing of the operating system, however I fail to grasp the concept behind the hindrance of ideas being passed the the development community. Some development plans I have talked about were: 1 - A 64 bit journaling file system with a SQL-like back-end. Lookout WinFS; there that plan went down the drain. 2 - Implementing an instant messenger server for developers and users to talk on, realtime, without IRC. Maybe not quite MSN Messenger, but why not? iChat even uses .mac. 3 - Implementing an OpenLDAP back-end to the website. Active Directory has nothing on you... Plan knocked out again. i would rather stick with something close minded like closed source software than having no ideas be recognized at all. I only suggest things like this because Microsoft will always be releasing newer software that will leave reactos in the dust if they not heed the advice of all, not just me, their developers, testers, and users. Why not; right? why envision something and it fail to be realized, waste of time if i ever knew it...

hi, i have a problem with the installation from setup to a real hd the setup dies with this message: allowconsolo() failed (status = 0x0000001) well, my question is: the installation procedure is only the copy of the reactos directory to the hd?
